frankly i dont give a shit what you wanna grow, the point is growing plants that grow QUICK and are EASY to harvest and have a lot of fuckin benefits.. that's why i choose hemp, because i don't know anything about those other pants you mentioned, but if you really believe in it then by all means people should really do what they believe in.. but hemp should be grown without a doubt for it has far more uses then any other plant, period.

okaayy... so you're saying that because of their genetics they like badboys?... personally i dont think genetics has one shred of reason for this, it's pretty straight forward, your genes, are just a smaller make-up of WHO YOU ARE.. it's like a mini-code.. if i have a mini-code inside me that says i like so-and-so because my parents are so-and-so, then that is merely a blue print, the same way my facial appearance is pre-conceived..
that doesn't mean the culture doesn't play a much bigger role and shape me in to what i really become.. personality is not pre-decided mr. scientist.. you take on the personality of your culture, or a result of it.. that aint biology.. you can't study the world under a microscope and use math to work out the puzzle.. this way of thinking is why we have machines that pollute for no good reason, and which are good tools of control for the wealthy, and 'elite'... it's destructive because it's overthought, and underestimated..
nature need not be controlled if it were free..

I don't soil my lungs with smoke and tar of any kind, so I can't comment on the effects of smoking cannabis.


well that shows how stupid you really are, naturally grown and 'unlaced with chemical' cannabis has no tar in the smoke, and does not give you cancer.. there have been 0 deaths credited to cannabis, so i dont know how you presume to think it's actually damaging.. all damage can be taken to the extreme of death, so no deaths from cannabis in record for centuries is self explanatory.

It does tend to make people dumbshits though.

overdoing anything is bad.. you must be referring to the "fried" state.. but there could be other reasons for that, other than the fact that they do it too much..

I remember all of those tv commercials they made about how marijuana turned your brain to MUSH, literally.. looking back on it now I see just how good education is at brainwashing people.. what a load of shit. Probably the same reason you think it makes people 'dumbshits'.. it's a classic case of conditioning... I know people much smarter than you who smoke a lot of fucking cannabis. Come to think of it, pretty much all of my favorite people now and throughout recent history have been influenced by cannabis. They have a better understanding for this world.

Unless you hang out on a university campus, I harbor doubt.

And, in any case, it could be that their cognitive ability stands in spite of smoking weed, not because of it. You seem to be making a basic logic error.

Lol... in spite of?.. I've stopped believing in coincidences, especially big ones.. yeah it's possible that they were quite smart before they ever smoked cannabis, but the kind of people intelligent enough to smoke it should also be smart enough to decide whether it truly is a good thing or not.. either way, cannabis has proven its self to me on many fronts.

...if they have read reliable medical research.

And this research suggests that weed impairs cognitive function. Maybe not permanently, but it does.

Well, when I was high, I was many things, but "smarter" wasn't one of them.

I have no interest in smoking weed so I tested the same friend with a trigonometric identity while he was high. Suprisingly, he got it right but didn't want to do any more after that.

We played SNES the whole evening and then I made fun of MTV rap videos with another one of them in the morning while everyone else was still passed out. It kicked ass.

The event of peak oil is unlikely to be drastic, even if it will come in the next several decades.

given how the US is based off cheap gasoline and cars, I say otherwise; the Us cities tend to be REAL spread out due to suburbs and the like.

Philadelphia, Chicago, New York City, Houston and Atlanta are one of the most spread out urban areas on the Earth with pops over 500,000 people.

Given how steep a decline in production could be and the cascading effect, especially combined with increased demand from China and India and how EVERYTHING runs off oil.... :?:

that is correct; late last year or earlier this year CNN did a small blurb on the German report suggesting the peak was in 2008 (i.e. NAO!). It was a small mention in the 'global news' as an update but I enjoyed reading the article off their (and other) sites.

yes its wiki....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil#The_Hirsch_Report

Quote:
Mitigation efforts will require substantial time.

* 20 years is required to transition without substantial impacts
* A 10 year rush transition with moderate impacts is possible with extraordinary efforts from governments, industry, and consumers
* Late initiation of mitigation may result in severe consequences.


and

Quote:
* Waiting until world oil production peaks before taking crash program action leaves the world with a significant liquid fuel deficit for more than two decades.

* Initiating a mitigation crash program 10 years before world oil peaking helps considerably but still leaves a liquid fuels shortfall roughly a decade after the time that oil would have peaked.

* Initiating a mitigation crash program 20 years before peaking appears to offer the possibility of avoiding a world liquid fuels shortfall for the forecast period.


those are from that report....granted yes the prediction for peak oil Do vary from only making the economy worse for a while/making preexisting problems worse, to fragmentation of society, to primitivism. I know a mechanic who is an anarcho-primitivist because he sees the peak forcing humans back to that way. Im glad im not in the US South.....that place will turn theocratic and s**t probably if it gets real bad except the houston area, atlanta area and northern + eastern virginia....even there.

again the effects do vary based on who you ask.....i wish the us government was going a more coordinated plan to transfer...Carter warned the american people in the 1970s....lol reagan basically said 'f**k you'
